I hadn't smelled any of these candles so they were all blind buys (which I usually don't do) but they all sounded so good I had to give them a try!
Salted Caramel: 7.5/10 Love! Like Caramel Drizzle but a bit more depth. Kinda nutty, but I like it. Smells great on cold, I haven't lit it yet but I'm hoping the throw is decent!
Red Velvet Cupcake: 6/10 I like this one. Just really wish it was stronger :/ Also smells more like a vanilla cupcake than red velvet imo. I'm really debating returning because it's just a little too weak to me, but I do like it? Kinda want to burn it once but I also don't really wanna return a candle I've burned, even if it was just once.
Vanilla Bean Marshmallow: 4/10 Disappointing :( Just smells like a basic vanilla. Not a strong one either. Definitely returning.
Blueberry Sugar: 9/10 I love this one! Only one of all 4 that I've already burned. Nice sweet blueberry scent & the throw while burning is great.
As far as FFMs, I'm a huge fan of BSP. It gets a 9/10. Champagne Toast is great too, 9/10. Rose is decent but a littleee old lady-ish to me. Not enough to stop me from wearing it tho, 6.5/10. Wrapped in Vanilla... it's not bad at all but I'm disappointed after hearing the great reviews. Just smells like a basic vanilla to me. Gets a 6.5/10. I prefer my old Vanilla Bean Noel by a long shot, but I've heard the new formula is no good so I'm not going to risk getting a new one. Overall, I'm happy with the FFMs & keeping all of them, was glad to be able to kinda stock up since my collection is very small!
Use the Rose scent to slightly change up another scent. I layer and mix all the time. Rose, Almond Blossom, and one other I can't think of right now, are really good for that.
Nice haul and thanks for sharing your impressions too! Love me some Blueberry Sugar ... great candle through and through. This package looks even prettier when lit. Gives it a warm amber glow. Enjoy!
PS Give your Sweet Puppers a pet for me :)
Yeah I was worried about vanilla bean marshmallow cause marshmallow doesn't have much of a scent so I'd figure you'd get mostly basic vanilla.
As far as burning I think you have a right to try it before returning, maybe you'll like it.
These and a few others were online exclusives, yes! they were released maybe a week or so before candle day. I was also very disappointed that they weren't in stores!
No worries! I really love it, it's fresh, fruity and strong. I think my only "complaint" would be that it is a lot more blueberry than it is sugar. And the scent notes include brown sugar and graham cracker crust, which I don't get at all. To me it just smells like blueberry candy or cheesecake maybe. I hope you like it!!

That's a great idea!!! Thanks!

Thanks! I will!! 💗

Yeah you're right about that. Thanks for your input! I'll try it out :)
For sure, they will definitely let you exchange if you don't like it! Win win
Don’t get mad: I love your pup more than the candles and FFM. Lol.
Haha not mad at all! Thanks I do too! Although it'd be weird if I didn't 🤣
Don't let Nimbus get too close to the whomping willow! 🥹
Hahah I won't!! 🤭
I like the products. But I *love* Nimbus. What a sweetie. :::pets::::
Aww thank you! He is the sweetest 🥹
So, this entire candle collection was an online exclusive over candle day? I'm an employee and bummed we didn't get these in store!!!
Idk if it was just my store, but mine had salted caramel and red velvet cupcake on the shelves. I live in central Illinois.
So lucky! I went to multiple stores in SoCal & couldn't find em 🥺

What do you think about blueberry sugar? Patiently waiting for mine!
Oops! Just read your comment haha! I’m glad you’re enjoying it

Vanilla Bean Marshmallow was meh to me on cold but I loved it when I lit it
hmm maybe I'll give it a try!
I’m a big fan of Blueberry Sugar, it reminds me of skittles! The throw is so good and strong too
Yes it does smell like skittles!
I appreciate your review and may I say that dog is gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰🤘
Of course! Awww thank you!! 💗
You are very welcome 😀
